I´ve never had a non-Compaq system that wouldn´t accept my Smart2 controller. All you need to do is download the SP6263 from the compaq website, create 2 floppies, and then you can boot of these 2 floppies to configure the RAID controller. I tried contacting the freebsd-doc mailinglist, because I wanted to make some notes on how to use the Compaq equipment in Compaq servers and non Compaq servers, but noone answered my letters, so I guess its not interesting to get such an add-on to the faq or handbook. I would then explain how to install BSD onto the controller, how to configure the controller on non CPQ systems, and later try to make a package wheneven I managed to get the Array config utility to work under fx wine.
